This apricot berry fizz has definitely been the flavor of the week at our house. My husband (Vadim) made this awesome drink. It’s 3-fold and it makes one amazing bubbly beverage: 1. Apricot Concentrate 2. Berry flavored ice cubes and 3. Club Soda.
Combining the three makes the most tantalizing apricot punch. Prep all the ingredients ahead of time and mix it up for a party or drink it all week long.
Apricot Concentrate:
4 lb apricot
1/3 cup sugar
1 quart water (4 cups)
Flavored Ice Cubes:
2 cups blueberries
3 cups strawberries
1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
Club Soda
Ice Trays
How to make Apricot concentrate:
1. Wash apricots, pit and cut into halves. Place apricots in a large pot, fill it with 1 quart of water and bring to a boil.
2. Simmer over low heat until soft but not mushy for around 30 min.
3. When finished, strain the mixture through cheesecloth or an OXO strainer
4. Place juice on the stove and simmer for 5 more minutes. Take it off the stove and let it cool
How to make Blueberry-strawberry ice cubes:
1. Bring washed strawberries and blueberries, 1 cup water and 1/3 cup of sugar to a simmer in a medium pot.
2. Cook on low heat until soft, stirring occasionally, around 20 min.
3. Strain mixture through the cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer (we use and love the OXO strainer
4. Pour into ice molds and freeze it.
Before serving, place 1-2 blueberry/strawberry ice cubes in a cold glass, add some apricot concentrate and at last pour some sparkling mineral water on top. We used about 1/3 cup concentrate and 2/3 cup club soda. Enjoy

Oh my goodness! That drink sounds fantastic! I love the idea of making your own flavored iced cubes. I’m going to have to give it a try!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks Rachel! Enjoy!!
And for how long would the concentrate would last in refrigerator?
We had it in the fridge for at least a week and it was fresh as on the first day 🙂
How about using peaches instead of apricots?
Peaches would work great as well, they are almost ripe in my parent’s yard 🙂
That is awesome that you have all this home-grown vegetables and fruits. =)
It’s all thanks to my parents. They work so hard on their yard and it’s such a blessing to all of us!
Wow, looks so good! I am sure it is really good for you too, with all those natural fruits… I have seen something similar, but they used that fake syrup, which I dont like. The photos are very beautiful! Nice job!!:)
Thank you Lena! It makes all the difference in flavor as well when using fresh fruit!
Very interesting tempting refreshing drink.
Perfect for our CA HOT days 🙂
Definitely great for a hot day! I think we have similar weather in Idaho; mid to high 90’s.
Your imagination is infinite, Vadim!
I bet you are proud of your husband, Natasha ))
Will definitely make this drink. Thanks for posting!
I am very proud of him. He impresses me daily. He’s quite a catch 🙂 We hope you love the drink. We finished it today and I’m craving it badly!
Natasha, this is a great twist on kompot:)))) I would try it soon…
Hope you love it!
I’ve been thirsty ALL day and then I see this! Lol
How I wish to have two glasses of that right now.
It is a perfect thirst quencher. I wasn’t trying to tease you with it 🙂
Perfect timing for sure!
